Food, service and ambiance. All was great! Our server was very knowledgeable and gave us great service!

I'm updating this after a few days bc I think the free dog food and how dog friendly this place is so awesome. I am not very sure why I love the nenudo here so much but I just do. I came here twice in a week. They just have very good prices for their lunch specials and my server, Jonny is so excellent. He made it enjoyable to come. The atmosphere here is quite nice, and the servers are just a pleasure. read more

Although the decor in this place is off the charts (decor for every season), the food just does not fit. It's pretty simple and needs more flavor. read more

+ Kinda cute - Expensive for what you get -- Not authentic Mexican food: black olives, bland salsa, etc. From the outside it looks nice, but it's mediocre food. If you live in the immediate neighborhood you might try it, but otherwise, I would say this is a skip. read more

Ok to spend $150 on dinner for two - drinks and meal. But need to be charged EXTRA for chips? No, thanks. I'll go to Landeros. Better food, anyway. What Mexican restaurant charges for CHIPS?! read more

Food is just OK but the service is extremely slow. Our server was friendly enough but it took so long to get the food out and then waited forever for a check. read more

The food is disgusting. I tried every salsa and none of them were good. The building is nice.

Always a great atmosphere, great food and awesome Margaritas.!!! Service is always exceptional, Sunday brunches are out of this world! read more

We came in for first time last night ( SATURDAY) at 8:00pm and had THE BEST WAITER!!! I hope I'm spelling his name correctly, please forgive me if not... Beto greeted us immediately with Chips & salsa, took our drink order, helped us with menu and recommended a few things. Our food came out amazing, and tasted delicious. What sets this place apart from the other ones down the road was waiter Beto... He made sure our Autistic son's food was made correctly & he cared to make sure he had everything he needed. These days it's hard to get great customer service & that's what Beto gave us last night. I hope he sees this, Thank you sir for your service. Not one complaint about the entire evening, just a wish... you were open a little later on weekends, to enjoy margaritas & maybe taco's later menu. Thank you again! read more

Had my wedding rehearsal dinner here and it was amazing! We had 40 people and were given the private room. It was a bit of a squeeze, but we were able to make it work. Abraham, our server, was amazing!! He handled our entire party by himself and provided excellent service. Food was great, drinks were great! It was an overall fantastic experience read more

In regards to Steven K's posts below and his three other fake accounts that try to destroy great business' reputations, the owner and her family run a phenomenal restaurant. They take care of their employees and do their part to give back & participate in local school events. They are actually known for giving back and supporting the police departments locally and in San Bernardino SINCE 1951!!! Someone, who has way too much time on their hands clearly, will never be able to talk this restaurant down!! Have fun talking boldly behind a computer screen while this amazing restaurant continues to thrive! The food is 12/10 too so go try The Mexico Cafe!!! read more

Passed this place by for years because I heard it was terrible. Decided to try and it's excellent!!! Much better than La Cocina ( down the street) only complaint is they charge for chips and salsa after the first bowl. Highly recommend! read more

I love this place a little too much... They're albondigas soup is off the charts... Nobody comes close to theirs... I've been coming back again and again and again for it and will keep doing it as long as it stays this delicious and Affordable read more

This place is massive. It was decked out with 4th of July decorations, which was cute. You can always tell the fate of your meal at a Mexican restaurant by the chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were a miss for me. The chips might be made in a different kind of oil than what I'm used to because they tasted different. Not in a bad way but definitely threw me off. Salsa was mediocre. Service was quick and friendly. They have lunch specials Monday-Friday from 11am-3pm. They also have happy hour, which might be our preference to return. The food was OK. It's hard to find good Mexican in Temecula. read more

Great lunch. Spontaneity sent us to the Mexico after one stop wine tasting. Great Halloween decor. Dia de Los Muertos. I had the Chile Rellenos. Filled with cheeses, tender chile dipped in batter and fried to deliciousness! The crispy tacos, the combo burrito, flavorful carnitas were enjoyed by all. Impressive selection of tequilas and tap beers. Great recharge after wine tasting. We will know where to go after Pechanga! Service-5 Food-5 Value-5 read more

Walking in, decor and just the structure alone is beautiful. Chips & salsa served right away 10/10 Horchata tasted fresh 10/10 Got the three combo plate cheese enchilada was blah nothing special tasted like a food chain sauce, chicken tacos and chicken taquitos were good meat was plenty full and cooked perfect. Beans and rice nothing grand rice needed flavor. The husband ordered chile relleno plate was soo good. We ate so much sharing each other's food we took everything to go. I would love to come back and try more menu items. read more

This large dine-in restaurant is close to our home where we just moved, often driving past it. It's located in the Redhawk community in a more secluded spot away from the main shopping centers surrounded by lush greenery. We were escorted into a huge dining hall where tables were filled with conversations with voices echoing across the hall. The ambiance is quite lively and festive. As we ate our dinner around 6:30 on a Friday night, a musician played his guitar and serenaded each table with a song. It was such a lovely treat! I've never experienced that before! Food was excellent and I loved that I got a refill on my fresh, tasty horchata. I ordered the Albondigas soup, which I've never tried before--delicious! This particular dish is rarely served at restaurants. Welcoming and friendly service. Tons of parking. Can't wait to go back! read more

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!! Used to be ok but not the whole dining experience is rushed!! They literally turn the lights off and the music off on the three parties still eating at 8:30! The food is just ok and feels like it was heated up in a microwave. And there was a really long hair in the salsa!!! Just an extremely bad experience!!!!!!!!! read more

First time coming here. Everything was fantastic and we will be coming back. I ordered the vegetable burrito as I don't eat meat and it was awesome. read more

Lacey is amazing. 5 stars. Food is great. I can't wait to come back. It was an awesome experience.

I love the food here. They give big portions. Gabby was our server and was always checking in on us. Margaritas were very tasty. We will be back soon. Try this place. It wont disappoint. read more

Calling a restaurant "The Mexico Cafe" and walking in to find giant American flags and leftover Fourth of July signage, five weeks after the holiday, is corny advertising and lazy branding. The decor felt like it was one cardboard Trump cutout and a few MAGA signs away from fully revealing its true aesthetic. It's not just tone-deaf, it's a parody of cultural representation. The food? Below average at best. The carnitas tasted boiled, stripped of any depth or crispness, and the guacamole had all the charm of something squeezed from a plastic tube. The massive open layout with awkward seating didn't evoke warmth or community, it felt like a caricature of Mexican hospitality, more interested in optics than authenticity. The young woman who served my family was kind, attentive, and likely doing her best in a space that felt more like a gimmick than a genuine restaurant. Her grace stood out in contrast to the environment. From the moment I walked in, I knew it was a mistake. But hunger and patience won out over instinct. I wish they hadn't. This was a massive disappointment, nowhere near the 4.1 stars Yelp is tossing around like confetti. If you're looking for real Mexican food with heart, soul, and respect for the culture, this isn't it. read more

Wanna take a moment to thank Jaylen and Lacie. They both gave us such prompt and kind service. Thank you so much! Will be back.

This is the best Mexican restaurant north of Cabo San Lucas. I said what I said. I stand by it. The ambiance is relaxing. The service is outstanding - thank you Miguel! And the food is amazing! read more

We came on Saturday 3/1 at 7:30 pm. The place is nice. Service overall was good. Our server Panchito was professional and attentive. The Margaritas were good. My beer was cold. We ordered beef fajitas and shrimp fajitas. The shrimp fajitas were good but the Beef Fajitas had barely any beef. It's was almost all vegetable. Whatever beef was there was good.!I wish they had more. We had the server the feedback. Hopefully they correct it. read more

Good food and good service. Was part of a private party and the service was on point.

Several months ago, we went there to eat a great tasting lunch. I paid for the meal with the nice waitress. We left and I forgot my credit card. The next day I called and Kaylee answered and said my credit card was still there. Truly excellent service and a trustworthy staff! Definitely will go back knowing the food is great as well as the staff. read more
